I ❤️ Mister Right! The lovely scent of lavender, the way it makes my curls spring right back! I'm a confirmed product junkie, but I'm sticking with this one!

I bought this because I was looking for a good second day refresher. Second day hair has always been a challenge for me. Unfortunately this product did not work well for me at all. It left my curls sticky and frizzy. Plus the smell was way too strong. Will not repurchase.

I doubted for a long time whether this was worth anything since i can't just spray liquids on dry hair and expect it to do anything but gave me hard curls. But this does have glycerine and castor oli, two ingredients my hair seems to love so i gave it a try. What can i say, this is my saviour, whatever went wrong before hair dries, it sprays it away. If my hair survives a night, this Will definitely wake it's potential. It has really become my staple. My hair is 3b, low porosity, medium density and at it's best, fluffy.

Not the best curl refresher for me. Although it is light, it left my hair a little stiff and did not really bring back my 2b/2c wavy curls very well. Did reduce frizz in winter months sometimes, but didn't help much in summer. I bought and used this product before I discovered co-washing, so maybe it would work better for me now. Does have a pleasant scent of lavender and it does get rid of the smell of smoke in your hair.

I havent used it yet but i read the ingredi. just to see what was up... it has DMDM Hydantoin which is Formaldehyde .A patch test study found "An increase in the use of DMDM hydantoin in cosmetic products will also inevitably increase the risk of cosmetic dermatitis in consumers allergic to formaldehyde."[3] DMDM hydantoin may cause allergic contact dermatitis to the product itself, cross-react with other formaldehyde releasing compounds or due to the formaldehyde released Those who try to shoot for more natural..

It took me a little while to get the hang of this, I didn't like it at all at first. If you really need to heavily wet down second day hair, use some water first, then the mister right. The key with this, at least for me, is that I can't use a lot of it. What I usually do is hold the bottle at a distance from my hair, and spray each section so that the product falls in a mist over the hair instead of hitting it with force. I find this gives me even coverage. Then I smooth a bit of a non-sticky gel on my hands, and scrunch the curls. That's it. The other benefits of not using too much of this product are that it lasts longer, and the smaller amount means a less overpowering smell.

It seems people either love or hate this product. It's interesting how idiosyncratic our curls are. I'm giving this a 5 because it really, really works for my fine 3a curls. I can stretch out washing up to 4 days spritzing this a couple times a day and scrunching. Sometimes I spritz this and water together and do a quick re-diffuse, and it rebounds like it was freshly washed. I'm pretty new on my curly hair journey and I'm grateful for this revitalizer.

I love this stuff for second-day hair. It's quick to use and I get lots of compliments on my hair. I don't love the scent but I don't dislike it either. I vastly prefer spraying in a product to using a cream on my hair - I feel this is lighter and doesn't leave me looking greasy.

I am a new user of Deva Curl products. I have been very happy with all of them except the Mister Right. All this product does is make my hair feel hard and stiff. I am sorry that I wasted my money on it.

This product is amazing! Using only DEVA for 30 days will transform your curls! They will be more defined and controlled..Getting a Deva cut really helps as well. If you live anywhere near Central Florida, please call us to get you started on the Deva system and cut!

This stuff is okay. It works, but it isn't anything special. I like it, but I'm not tied down to it.

Posted by Pumpkin72 (Type 3c) on 06/30/2013

I have 3c/4a hair and I gabbed this product by accident on day thinking it was the Set It Free. I took it home and I had already co-washed and conditioned my hair. So, I took this product out the bag and began spraying and styling my hair. My twist turned out great and bouncy with a fabulous shine. I give this product 4 stars because I really dislike the smell of lavender. If it had been a different smell like the Set it Free I would of rated 5 stars. And keep the product. I feel the product is worth the price but the smell is terrible. There need to be other choices of scents in the product.

My hair is very thin, and I like the extra body it gives to my curls on the 2nd and 3rd day. I apply it on dry hair after a pineapple and it really helps styling my hair the way I like it by scrunching it while moisturized and slightly dampened by the mist, then I don't touch my hair anymore until it's completely dry again.

Posted by luvmycurls (Type 3a) on 05/25/2013

I'm a 2c/3a kind of girl. Wanted something to refresh my curls, but my hopes were dashed with this product. Like others I've gotten so much from Lorraine Massey's book and shampoo/conditioner/gels. But this product left my hair a sticky mess. Right now I'm using distilled water with some orange oil in it, but still hopeful I'll find another product that cuts the frizz and refreshes my curls w/o all the gumminess.

Posted by ChristinaKrantz (Type 3b) on 05/13/2013

This stuff smelled awful, did absolutely nothing for my curls, and made my hair feel funny. Not a great product.

Posted by chloe92us (Type 2c) on 03/28/2013

This refreshes curls well enough, but the smell is HORRID!!!!!!!!!!! It smells like lavender mixed with stinky feet. Seriously.

Posted by Samanthascurlz (Type 3b) on 01/15/2013

So I have tried this over and over again. I am sad to put one curl for Lorraine Massey's book changed my life and I love her gels and conditioners. However, this products SUCKS. It doesn't rejuvenate anything and I don't think the lavender smell is pleasant bc it is mixed with a citrus scent. Like most of the other reviews on here, it leaves my hair frizzy and merely coats the shaft rather than penetrate and revitalize curls. What a disappointment...I still have almost a few bottle so I am gonna keep using until its done. Then I am going to put water in it bc that will probably work better sadly.

Posted by RedPersianKitty (Type 3a) on 11/17/2012

I have fine thin naturally curly hair and this did absolutely nothing for my hair. It left my hair sticky and did not do anything for my frizz or my curls; in fact it made the frizz worse. Bumble and Bumble Curl Conscious Reactivating Mist works so much better and I can go 4 days without washing my hair.

2

Posted by tokyostyle (Type 3a) on 11/03/2012

I was a little bit disappointed in this product, since it leaves my curls feeling a bit "sticky". I tried spraying it all over my hair before I scrunched it up with AnGEL, but nowadays I just use it to tame flyaways on second day hair.

Posted by lovelife2012 (Type Unknown) on 09/29/2012

Terrible Terrible what more can I say... Mist-er right was Mist-er wrong... The smell is to bad it gave me a instant headache and not to it left my hair sticky hot mess. Don't waste your money this stuff is terrible. Love Deva one conditoner and no poo but this stuff... no can do ever!

Posted by Fatema (Type 3b) on 09/07/2012

Any pros to this product are outweighed by one major con: smells horrible!

2

Posted by Curly Newbie (Type 3a) on 07/03/2012

I think this product is horrible. While I have seen an improvement on curls that need a little help, there are much better products out there. It always changes the texture of my hair for the worst. I prefer using water over this product.

Posted by whirlyhair (Type 2c) on 06/14/2012

I can get second day hair with this spray. I like to spray it even after conditioning my hair in the shower, and it acts as a nice base for my other stylers. It's weird but when I spray it to second-day hair, my hair curls up nicely again. It smells quite strong, but it fades away after some time. I might keep buying it!

1

Posted by sunnydiva (Type 3b) on 04/23/2012

I understand and like the thought process behind this product...i just find that it doesn't do what it says. Every time i used it, it ENCOURAGED flyaways and frizz. I experimented with quantity--spray very lightly and I got the frizz; if I got more generous with the misting, I ended up with limp, sticky curls. I get better results splashing regular water on my hair. It smells nice, but it was useless for me.

Another Mist-er WRONG. I am SO DISAPPOINTED in this product. I've been using, and loving Mist-er Right since I went CG. It's one of the few refresher/2nd day products I'd found that DIDN'T contain glycerin. On low dew point days, my hair cannot tolerate glycerin, so Mist-er Right was perfect for toting around, to keep away frizz, flyaways, and flatness. I recently purchased probably my 8th bottle of Mist-er Right. This bottle has a different label than the regular Deva label shown in Curlmart's photo: The label I purchased has a blue background behind an illustration of some sort of naked angel-fairy-type-woman, who has green wings and long blonde curls. I used this spray a few times, and my hair got crunchy, dry, and felt producty. Mist-er Right had never done this to me before, so after several uses, I checked the ingredients. Glycerin is now the second ingredient!

Worst 2nd day hair I've had in years after using this. I love One Condition and SIF, and thought I'd try this instead of using more SIF on 2nd day hair. It did not work. I followed the directions on the bottle and I got pure frizz everywhere I sprayed it, not even frizzy curls, just all-out fly-away frizz like my hair had no product in it at all (but it had an $18 product in it!!! Maybe the glycerin is the problem-- I've heard that ingredient works best in humidity and it wasn't humid at all today, and that SIF didn't used to contain any. At any rate, I will not use this again.

Posted by gardencurls (Type 3a) on 04/06/2012

I am not a chemist by any stretch of the imagination, so I can't begin to explain why a slight change in product formulation caused this product to go from being wonderful for me, to being lousy. The ingredients on the first 8 bottles of Mist-er Right, of which I used every drop, were: Water, Propylene Glycol, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Melissa Officinalis (Lemon Balm) Extract, Humulus Lupulas (Hops) Extract, Cymbopogon Schoeanthus (Lemongrass) Extract, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Extract, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Extract, Achillea Millefolium (Yarrow) Extract, DMDM Hydantoin.

From what I can see, the difference in formulation is that Propylene Glycol has been replaced with Glycerin. The only thing I know about both ingredients, (because I read about them here), is that both act as humectants in hair products. Out of curiosity, I googled "Glycerin vs. propylene glycol", and a link came up to a book that has a brief paragraph that would be slightly helpful if hair were skin. It says: "Also PG has better permeation through the stratum corneum, probably because it has different solvent properties(i.e., propylene glycol is more lipid soluble than glycerin). Becuase of these superior solubility properties, PG is preferred over glycerin in many pharmaceutical and cosmetic preparations..."
(http://books.google.com/books?id=dQBAzfyCeQ8C&pg=PA289&lpg=PA289&dq=30%25+propylene+glycol+less+irritating&source=bl&ots=tX3ydFshrW&sig=boGWFez53n8BYcgMWVXgFep993g&hl=en&ei=Ys9USrTIEIKJtgeorOjPAQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=10#v=onepage&q=30%25%20propylene%20glycol%20less%20irritating&f=false)

So, possibly my hair somehow gets moisture from propylene glycol, while glycerin dries it out? What I do know is that Mist-er Right used to be a fabulous moisturizer, refresher, second/third day revitalizer, etc., and now if feels like ordinary spray gel on my hair.

Not awful, but nothing special, either. I bought a bottle of this to keep at the gym for post-workout curl refreshing. I like the smell, but it doesn't do much to revive my 2c/3a curls, which often look a bit lank after I exercise. I thought it might work better if I'd previously styled my hair with other Deva products, but it still doesn't accomplish much. I had to wait till I got home to bring my curls back to life with my Ouidad curl refresher spray and a little leave-in conditioner.

Posted by amandafuson (Type 2a) on 09/15/2011

didnt rejuvenate my daughters curls at all! i really dont think its doing anything but dry her hair out more. but after paying close to $100.00 for this set i am going to use every drop!

Posted by gardenerwithcurls (Type 3a) on 09/07/2011

I am in the beginning stages of CG, and this product saves my hair all day long. My hair still gets very dry as the day goes on, to the point that it feels crisp. Crisp means frizz and lack of shape, but spritzing this on my hair remoisturizes and reshapes with just a little scrunching. I use this at bedtime, too, to hold moisture in my hair and keep my scalp fresh. I love the beautiful, natural lavender scent. I'd buy this by the case if I could! As my hair gets into better shape I probably won't need as much of this as I'm currently using, but I'm sure it will be part of my regime for revitalization and springing my curls into shape.

This spray did absolutely nothing for my hair. It smells like you are spraying lemon juice on your hair. I am returning it tomorrow!

Awesome for mid day touch ups. Spray, scrunch, good to go!

Posted by mikosbelle (Type 4a) on 07/03/2011

Not a bad refresher product. I liked if based on performance and price point that I ordered the large bottle when drugstore.com had a sale. It wasn't sticky to me and the smell is very nice. It was wayoew

Posted by happyprole (Type 3a) on 06/11/2011

This product doesn't work as well for me as it seems to work for others. I'm very disappointed with it as it mostly just leaves my bathroom floor sticky as I spritz it in my hair. I do not plan to reorder this product.

Posted by Iowacurls (Type 3b) on 04/16/2011

I love this curl-refresher! It works for my stubborn short hair and it tames my frizzies.

2

Posted by www.candycoutureco.com (Type 3b) on 01/26/2011

I don't understand all the hype. It didn't do much for my 3B hair. idk maybe I'm not using it right but it feels like it dries my hair out and does nothing to get the curl back to a frizz free curl. All it does is wet it. The smell is alright I rather not smell it though. It smells lemony which I don't like as a hair smell

2

Posted by Cheetara (Type 2a) on 11/01/2010

This product gets 2 curls because I absolutely love the smell. It does not work for me in any other way. It makes me frizz up and does nothing to refresh my hair. I wouldn't buy it again as I can make something better by mixing my own refresher spray.

3

Posted by radianceunveiled (Type 3a) on 08/10/2010

Mist-er Right is not a bad curl refresher I have to give this one 3 curls. I like the smell but if my curls need a little lift this just isn’t enough. This curl refresher is great for adding moisture to my hair but if my curls are really droopy this just isn’t enough. Compared to Jessicurl Awe Inspiraling Spray I like JessiCurl a little better.

Posted by Nightshade (Type 3b) on 07/25/2010

It's a nice pick-me-up. I try to get by only washing my hair every other day or two save the color and I like to use this on non-wash days.

It's not a miracle worker, but it helps freshen things up in the morning.

Posted by curlymix (Type 3c) on 07/20/2010

Unfortunately, this one was "mister-wrong" for my hair- complete frizz, very sticky. Tried it more than once b/c it does smell quite good.

Posted by Muellerjs (Type 3b) on 05/22/2010

DevaCurl has my favorite products, but this one is my least favorite. It smells FANTASTIC though! I keep it in my car because I am always on the go and it's good for a mid day pick me up. It helps my curls to look a little fresher, but is not a WOW product. I like the Oiudad refresher much better, it just doesn't smell as nice as DevaCurl!

2

Posted by MissCurlGirl (Type 3a) on 03/06/2010

Doesn't do much for me. It was free in my DevaFuser box I got for Christmas. Can't see any benifit to my hair after using it.

2

Posted by ajverkler (Type 3b) on 02/17/2010

Definitely too heavy and sticky to spray directly on my hair. I tried spraying on my hands and scrunching in...leaves me with more frizz than when I started. I am not crazy about the lavender smell at all. Will not be buying this product again.

2

Posted by CurlieTop (Type 3a) on 02/16/2010

I don't get why this product is rated "best of the best." I've tried using it over the last week, both over product and over nothing, and every time it seems like I'm just spraying lavender-scented water in my hair. I don't need to spend $18 for that! I get maybe a little more definition that pretty much goes away after the product (water) dries... landing me with end-of-day frizz, again as if I had just put water in my hair. Somebody below suggested spraying diluted conditioner as a 2nd-day curl reviver, I think I'll try that. I also recommend DevaCurl's Set It Free for 2nd day hair especially if it's a frizz-prone, barely curly type 2 like mine.

not moisturizing enough for my hair. had to mix with water to get enough saturation to move my curls.

Posted by Simone53 (Type 3b) on 09/26/2009

I wonder if I'm actually using this correctly. All I get is stickiness with Mist-er Right. I seem to do better just scrunching in some water. If anyone can advise how they're using it to get the '5 curl' rating I see listed, it's much appreciated!

Posted by NinaB (Type 2b) on 08/30/2009

Love the light lavender scent! Perked up my end of day hair without feeling heavy or sticky. I will carry this in my backpack to spritz my hair after taking off my bike helmet!

Posted by mom22curlies (Type 3c) on 05/26/2009

Not enough of anything for my hair. I do better misting my 2nd day hair (that's been pineappled) with water/conditioner mix I keep in a spray bottle.

Posted by philippians3_7 (Type 3a) on 05/23/2009

I love this! I do have to be careful not to use too much or my hair goe slimp. I get lots of compliments on my hair when I use this product. It does dry a little sticky, but overall I really enjoy it.

Posted by blackfoothair (Type 3a) on 05/12/2009

I love this! I have 2C/3A hair and sometimes my curls aren't their bounciest! When I mist this in I lightly scrunch my curls and it brings them to life! Also smells just like a lavender field! Very relaxing!

Good refresher that gives me fairly consistent results. I've found it works best for me if I spray it and let it soak in. Scrunching seems to cause frizz. I have to be careful not to use more than 3-4 squirts for my entire head, or my hair goes limp. Overall, a nice product though. I keep a bottle at work and one at home and mostly use it as a mid-day pick-me-up.

While it gives me a little boost (im a 2b/3a) it does help me out in at least adding a little mositure to my hair on the non wash days. The smell is fantastic and does seem to help out a bit on the frizzy days. Some day, nothing helps!!!

Saved my day!! I was teaching a training course in Chicago and overslept one morning. No time to co-wash & style, so I spritzed with Mr. Right and scrunched. After I finished dressing I added a little finishing spray and my hair looked great all day!
I truly LOVE my Mr. Right!!

Posted by kurlee (Type 3a) on 01/04/2007

I kinda like this spray. It has no hold or anything but it refreshens the hair/curls nicely and it seems to moisturize my hair well. Lavender smell that is pretty okay.

This never would work for me, all I ever achieved with it was frizz, too bad the smell is awesome.

Posted by deepredringlets (Type 3a) on 08/01/2006

I really like this product for my second hair day. I mix it with a little Angell and it brings my curls right back to life! My only negative is that it drys kind of sticky. Would buy again.

Posted by beachblondewavie (Type 2b) on 04/29/2006

it brings life back to my limp waves,used alone its not so great b/c it leaves some frizz but i mix a little deavcurl oneC in it and it gets the job done quite well.

Posted by couchpups (Type 3b) on 08/08/2005

I love the scent, but I don't think it does much to rejuvinate my curls. I also think it tends to make them a bit more frizzy.

Posted by ladydncing (Type 3c) on 07/21/2005

I am a Devacurl fan, but this one didn't do anything for me, except give me frizz and it really irritated my scalp. : (

Posted by PixieCurl (Type 3a) on 10/19/2004

This is nice and I'm going to use up my bottle, but mostly only because my boyfriend loves the smell (and so do I). It does help perk up curls a LITTLE bit but it also makes my hair a little sticky and sometimes more frizzy.

4

Posted by Meezer (Type 3a) on 10/15/2004

Nice, strong lavender scent; however, it's pretty much functionless for me aside from adding a nice scent. It's great to use after being at a restaurant or in a smoke filled room. I've even squirted it over my bed/pillows before sleep.

2

Posted by apodder (Type 2b) on 09/30/2004

Scent is not bad, but doesn't do a lot for my curls and makes the ones I spray it on feel sticky.

4

Posted by Lushaholic (Type 2a) on 09/23/2004

Another Devacurl product I absolutely adore. I really love the scent! And definitely does it's job at reviving the curls. I try not to use it too much though because I think sometimes it can make my hair a little frizzy, that's why I'm giving it a 3-curl instead of a 4. But definitely a great product nonetheless! Devacurl hooked me again!

A good freshener that smells amazing and perks up curls.

Posted by curlywally (Type 3b) on 06/15/2004

This is so great. I spritz it on while my hair is still wet to get that lavendar smell, and then after my hair dries I spritz it on the limp curls and they bounce back up! I'm hooked!

Posted by shorty448 (Type 3a) on 06/14/2004

While Awe Inspiralling mist definitely works better as a reviver, I still like using this on my hair, especially after a work out if I don't have time to wash my hair afterwards. Mister Right smells good (if you like lavender) and reactivates product well.
